Does make a difference if i include as a module, or directlly into the
kernel? I read sometimes that it's 'better' to compile the things as
modules, but i have not really an idea why... Anyway, it's worth the
effort. By the way, I always try to get things to work as root first.
If that's working, I change permissions... I think this isn't really
an issue here (since root has the right permissions), is it?
tnx,

Try installing the 'sndconfig' package, and run it (as root). That
should find your audio hardware. Or, simply use 'lspci' as root, and
then google/search this list for debian support for that sound hardware
(and kernel module)
hope this helps...
This helped a bit: I ran 'lspci -v' and found out some things. But
sndconfig doesn't work, I tried that already some times. It sais
something like:
#you don't seem be running a kernel with modular sound
#enabled.(soundcore.o was not found in the modular search path.) To use
#sndconfig, you must be running a kernel with modular sound, such as
#kernels shipped with Debian Linux or 2.2 or greater kernel.
I have kernel 2.4.16 on my laptop and I have some sound modules installed...
Tnx,
Kurt.
